Assuming it is legitimate, the subject-to model can help you save money on taxes and get you a nice monthly check.

Even if we use a more modest 2% (inflation) appreciation model, you end up with $1.9 million, which is a $100k "loss" versus a $1.9 million loss.Of course there's lots of other factors - can you stay there for 30 years?

Part of your returns are simply not easy to get to, that does not mean you don't get them, it just means that you have to plan ahead and be flexible.Spend some time looking at the various models of how to realize returns from real estate to better understand the various vectors of return:1.

They monitor the meters remotely, and send you and the resident a statement on the 1st of each month with the resident’s W/S/T usage and charges for the previous month.I use their Model TSN1 - PVC Meter which currently costs $95 each.Each building also needs at least one router which currently costs $195.If you have your meters in a centralized location, you only need one router but if the meters are scattered throughout the building, you may need multiple .There’s a monthly $6 fee per unit for the monitoring and invoicing.If you decide to give it a try, feel free to use discount code msam10 for a 10% discount.If you have any questions or comments feel free to reach out to me directly.And if you need to buy a building to put Sub-Meters in, I’m happy to chat about that as well 🙂

@Rose LaurentThere are a number of business models what can work in Albany.

Set your goals (I use the GROWER model in our mentoring sessions)4.

value adds, flipping, alternate rent models such as STR, MTR, rent by room  can help with the return. 

If your net worth starts climbing over few million, it's wise to think about adding some offshore flavor to your strategy.

@andy binford Stick to the model, it's a good one!

I am currently a student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and interested in the buy and hold model to create passive income.
